Diablo 2 Resurrected, Act III: Lam Esen's Tome

Quest Name: Lam Esen's Tome

Area Level

Ruined Temple: 23 (Normal), 53 (Nightmare), 84 (Hell)

Unlocked By: Completing Quest Two, or entering the Ruined Temple, given by Alkor.

Alkor will ask you to recover a special book, an ancient tome that belonged to a sage called Lam Esen. While this is an optional quest, it is highly recommended to do it, since it will award you with five stat points, an always welcome gift.

To get to the Ruined Temple, the game indicates that you must search across the Kurast Bazaar, Upper Kurast and The Kurast Causeway areas. Don't pay the slightest attention to that, since the temple with the book is always the Ruined Temple in the Kurast Bazaar. You can also find another temple in this area called the Disused Fane, once you click the stairs the name of the temple will show up and you'll know if you're in the right place.

The book will be inside the temple with a boss guarding it, a Corrupted Rogue called Sarina the Battlemaid. She is fast, hits hard, and it's always accompanied by her minions, so don't get too reckless and go always well prepared. Once you get the tome, go back to Karyst and Alkor will reward you.
